DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The present inventors found that when an amine compound is synthesizedby imino-hydrogenating an aldehyde compound, if a compound derived froma phosphorus compound used for a hydroformylation reaction remains,yield of the reaction is reduced. In order to improve the yield of thereaction, after the hydroformylation reaction, the obtained aldehydecompound and the compound derived from the phosphorus compound need tobe separated beforehand.

However, when the boiling point of the aldehyde compound is close to theboiling point of the compound derived from the phosphorus compound, itis difficult to separate the compounds by distillation in some cases.Furthermore, when the phosphorus compound is hydrolyzed such that it canbe separated by distillation, the solution becomes acidic, and thus thealdehyde compound loses stability in some cases. In addition, when theacidic solution obtained after the hydrolysis is neutralized with a basecompound so as to improve the stability of the aldehyde compound, thebase compound causes polymerization/decomposition of the aldehydecompound, and thus the stability deteriorates in some cases.

For this reason, the present invention aims to establish a purificationtechnique of an aldehyde compound that separates an aldehyde compoundand a compound derived from a phosphorus compound while maintainingstability of the aldehyde compound as a target substance.

As a result of performing intensive examination to solve the aboveproblem, the present inventors found a method for separating a compoundderived from a phosphorus compound while maintaining stability of analdehyde compound by using a predetermined base compound.

Specifically, an aldehyde compound can be synthesized in the followingmanner.

First, a rhodium compound, a phosphorus compound, and the compound as araw material represented by Formula (a1) or (a2) are put into a reactor.Then hydrogen and carbon monoxide gas are supplied into the reactor, andin this state, a hydroformylation reaction can be performed at atemperature of 30° C. to 120° C. under a pressure of 0.1 MPa to 1.0 MPafor a reaction time of 1 hour to 8 hours. Herein, a uniform reactionsystem including only an oil phase or a double layer reaction systemincluding a water layer and an oil layer can be appropriately selectedto perform the hydroformylation reaction.

In this way, the compound represented by Formula (a1) or (a2) ishydroformylated, and an aldehyde compound is synthesized.

The hydroformylation reaction can be performed without using a solvent,and can use a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic compound, asubstituted or unsubstituted aliphatic hydrocarbon compound, or analcohol. The hydroformylation reaction can be performed in a solventsuch as toluene, benzene, hexane, octane, acetonitrile, benzonitrile,o-dichlorobenzene, ethanol, pentanol, or octanol. The hydroformylationreaction of the present embodiment exhibits excellent reactivity at ahigh concentration. Accordingly, the hydroformylation reaction can beperformed without using a solvent. As a result, a step of evaporating asolvent and the like become unnecessary, hence the reaction is performedby a simple step. Furthermore, the volume efficiency is improved, andthe production efficiency becomes excellent.

By the manufacturing method of the present embodiment, an aldehydecompound represented by the following Formula (b1) is synthesized fromthe compound of Formula (a1). Moreover, from the compound of Formula(a2), an aldehyde compound represented by the following Formula (b2) issynthesized.

After the hydroformylation reaction ends, a target aldehyde compound canbe obtained by performing a purification step which will be describedlater.

<Purification Method of Aldehyde Compound>

The purification method of an aldehyde compound of the presentembodiment includes a step of neutralizing a reaction solution, whichcontains the aldehyde compound obtained as above, by adding water andthe following base compound to the reaction solution, and a step ofdistilling the neutralized reaction solution.

The reaction solution which contains the aldehyde compound contains thealdehyde compound represented by the Formula (b1) or (b2), a phosphoruscompound, and a compound containing rhodium. In the present embodiment,the “compound containing rhodium” also includes any of a compound in theform of a complex consisting of the rhodium compound added as a rawmaterial, the phosphorus compound, CO/H₂ and a free rhodium compound.

When water and a base compound are added to the reaction solution, waterand an aqueous solution of a base compound may be added, or only asolution containing a base compound may be added.

The amount of water to be mixed is 2.0% by mass to 10.0% by mass,preferably 5.0% by mass to 9.0% by mass, more preferably 6.0% by mass to9.0% by mass, with respect to the total amount of the solution of themixture. This is the total amount of water and water of the aqueoussolution of a base compound.

In the present embodiment, the base compound used in the reaction is atleast one kind selected from among carbonate and hydrogen carbonate ofmetals of group I on the periodic table and carbonate and hydrogencarbonate of metals of group II on the periodic table.

Examples of the base compound include sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodiumcarbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate, calciumcarbonate, magnesium carbonate, and the like.

Herein, at a point in time when the base compound has been added, insome cases, a reaction product (impurities) derived from the basecompound and the phosphorus compound is precipitated, or alternatively,a reaction product (impurities) is precipitated similarly to the stillresidue remaining after distillation. Accordingly, from the viewpoint ofindustrial process, it is preferable to use potassium hydrogen carbonateor potassium carbonate as the base compound. If such bases containingpotassium are used, the precipitation of the aforementioned reactionproduct (impurities) can be inhibited.

Particularly, potassium carbonate exhibits high solubility in water andmakes it possible to prepare a high-concentration aqueous solution.Potassium carbonate can increase neutralization efficiency from theviewpoint described above, and availability thereof is high. Therefore,it can also be suitably used for mass production.

Specifically, purification of an aldehyde compound can be performed asbelow.

A mixture of a compound containing rhodium, a phosphorus compound, and acompound represented by Formula (b1) or (b2) is put into a reactor. Thenwater is added thereto, and the resultant is treated for a reaction timeof 2 hours to 10 hours under normal pressure at a temperature of 40° C.to 80° C., preferably at 40° C. to 50° C.

Thereafter, an aqueous solution of a base compound was added thereto toperform a neutralization treatment. The conditions of the neutralizationtreatment can be appropriately set according to the manufacturing scaleand the like. However, the neutralization treatment is preferablyperformed within a temperature range of equal to or higher than 40° C.and equal to or lower than 50° C. Furthermore, the pressure condition ispreferably set to be a normal pressure, and the neutralization ispreferably performed for a reaction time of 1 hour to 2 hours.

Moreover, in the present embodiment, after the neutralization treatment,distillation and purification are performed under a reduced pressure.

By these steps, it is possible to suitably separate a compound derivedfrom a phosphorus compound while maintaining stability of the aldehydecompound represented by Formula (b1) or (b2). Consequentially, it ispossible to obtain an aldehyde compound, from which a compound derivedfrom a phosphorus compound has been separated and removed, whilemaintaining the yield of the aldehyde compound obtained by the precedingstep.

In addition, in the purification step of the present embodiment, afterwater is added and a heating treatment is performed, an aqueous solutionof a base compound is added. At this time, if the aqueous solution of abase compound is added within the aforementioned temperature range, itis possible to efficiently neutralize the reaction system without theneed to excessively cool the reaction system. That is, if neutralizationis performed within the aforementioned temperature range, it is possibleto improve the production efficiency while maintaining stability of thealdehyde compound.

The manufacturing method of an amine compound of the present embodimentthat will be described later and the manufacturing method of anisocyanate compound using an amine compound obtained by theaforementioned manufacturing method includes the purification method ofan aldehyde compound as a step. Accordingly, the manufacturing methodsare excellent in productivity and yield of the target compounds.

Step (b): a step of reacting an aldehyde compound obtained by Step (a)with ammonia and with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst

The manufacturing method of an amine compound of the present embodimentincludes the aforementioned manufacturing method of an aldehyde compoundas in Step (a). Therefore, in Step (a), the productivity and yield ofthe aldehyde compound are excellent, and as a result, the productivityand yield of an amine compound as a target compound also becomeexcellent.

Herein, because Step (a) is the same as the step in the “manufacturingmethod of an aldehyde compound”, description of this step will not berepeated.

In step (b), the aldehyde compound represented by the Formula (a1) or(a2) that is obtained by Step (a) is iminated by being reacted withammonia, and hydrogen is added thereto in the presence of a catalyst. Inthis way, an amine compound is synthesized.

As the catalyst, a metal catalyst such as nickel, platinum, palladium,or ruthenium, and the like can be used. When the aldehyde compound has acyano group as a substituent, a —CH₂—NH₂ group is generated by hydrogenreduction.

In this way, in Step (b), the aldehyde group of the aldehyde compoundbecomes an amino group by imination, and the cyano group also becomes anamino group by hydrogen reduction. Consequentially, an amine compoundrepresented by the following Formula (c1) having two amino groups issynthesized. Herein, when the aldehyde compound represented by Formula(b1) in which X is a hydrogen atom is used, an amine compoundrepresented by the following Formula (c2) is synthesized.

In Formula (c1) or (c2), n has the same definition as n in Formula (a1)or (a2).
